Nanomaterials are being applied across a raft of industries and technologies due to their outstanding magnetic, optical, catalytic and electronic properties, which depend greatly on their size, structure and shape. The Global Market for Nanomaterials 2002-2016 is the most comprehensive study ever conducted on the nanomaterials market, which will greatly impact all industries in the coming years.

The production volume in 2016 is conservatively estimated to reach more than 350,000 tons, driven by demand from applications in electronics, energy, medicine, chemicals, coatings and catalysts. The market is forecasted from 2002 through to 2016. End user markets are also outlined. The report covers metal oxide nanopowders; carbon nanotubes; fullerenes and POSS; graphene; nanocellulose; nanoclays; nanofibers; nanosilver and quantum dots. Optimistic market estimates are also covered in the report.

Zinc oxide nanopowders find application across a raft of industries where they are used for their anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-corrosion, catalytic, and UV filtering properties. The main application of Nano ZnO at present is as UV-resistant additive in sunscreens. Other applications of Nano ZnO include anti-microbials, conductive thin-films in blue laser diodes, solar cells, and LCDs, protective coatings, capacitors, varistors, photoprinting and electrophotography.
